This month we’ll review and discuss Toby Ord’s recent work on Shaping Humanity’s Longterm Trajectory. Toby’s paper introduces a mathematical framework that enables comparing the value of reducing existential risk to other potential improvements to our future. Here’s a link to his EA forum post summarizing the paper: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/Doa69pezbZBqrcucs/shaping-humanity-s-longterm-trajectory
